Though there are some cases where torture is meant to bring out the best performance of a person. Most these devices are meant to kill, but the main focus will be the torture aspect of it.

Revised... Kind of.... [Paper Work ]

Are we, as humans, then the best suited for survival? In reality it is not the fact that we are best suited for survival but that we have cheated natural selection. How? Humans allow for undesirable traits to live on, prevent traits from even being passed on, and develop ways around getting eaten by predators, diseased by viruses, or killed by natural disasters. In the Medieval Ages people didn’t have medicine to prevent The Plague from affecting them, nor did the Native Americans have anything for small pox among their people. Instead these people would have to die off until only the strongest of them lived. The strongest could then mate and spread their stronger immunity to their offspring. Nowadays, almost anyone can go into the doctor’s office and get medicine to prevent them from getting the latest disease. Even things like the chicken pox can’t be prevented by genetics. Both parents could have had chicken pox but their child won’t have any immunity to it, however, they could inherit a better immune system, but this isn’t always the case. The child could still end up with a weak immune system and end up relying on medicine to prevent, in this case chicken pox, from potentially killing him/her off at an early age. This child then can mate and have a child off his/her own with a weak immune system.
